Understanding our natural world is both exciting and essential.

Exploring the rich variety of plants and animals and how they are interconnected opens up opportunities to understand our own role in the natural world. Our virtual education resources are designed to lead teachers and students to a more thorough understanding of the critical role ecosystems and biodiversity in both our backyards and beyond.

For more than 30 years, the Milwaukee County Zoo was home to one of our city’s most famous residents -- a massive male gorilla named Samson.

A silverback (adult male with silver-gray hair on back and shoulders), Samson was noted for banging on the windows and steel door of his enclosure to get visitors' attention.
